Model M & F

Not really a great deal, kinda expensive really, but the 1390120 has a pretty early date. That might be of interest to someone. Makes it an easier buy with the F included.

What? $173 shipped? That sounds like a good price doubled.

Haha, $100 for a 1390120. Regular M's should be in the $40-60 range, to me.

$60 is fair for that XT.

To me, the 1390120 is a good parts donor for its heavy plate, etc, but less desirable than other Ms because of no LEDs.

I had trouble selling a couple of clean, tested, XTs in the $35 range last summer.
